Revert [3eaa6c984a] (Enh [http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/info/2959069|2959069]), as it turns out that -fvisibility=hidden only affects definitions and not declarations.

Therefore explicitely declaring each MODULE_SCOPE function as  __attribute__((__visibility__("hidden")) is much better. 
Suggested by Stuart Cassoff (Thanks!).
